Chapter 430 The Ma Family’s Plot
Xiuying clearly remembered that Wang Dali's age, as recorded on his death deed, had already been 30 years old. Thirty, in that era, was not young at all; he could even be a grandfather.
"If you don't find a girl you like, it doesn't matter. Life is only 30,000 days long, and happiness is the most important thing. When you are old, I will give you a generous sum of money so that you can live a comfortable life."
Hearing this, Wang Dali's body moved. He had been wandering alone in this world for so long, serving his master diligently and never dared to have too many extravagant hopes.
However, at this moment, his heart was deeply touched. He did not want to live alone, he longed for a warm family and the strong family affection.
After his parents passed away, his sister Wang Daya became his only relative. He always missed the happy moments of the family sitting together.
His master treated him very well, cared deeply, and rewarded him generously, but this kind of kindness was ultimately different from the blood-thicker-than-water relationship between family members.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth slightly, his voice slightly shy, and said: "Tian Xiaofang is not bad."
Xiuying responded immediately, "Okay, I'll ask Wang Shufen to go with me to propose marriage some other day."
After saying that, Xiuying came back to her senses and looked puzzled, "But... who are you talking about?" She seemed not to have heard clearly the name Wang Dali had just said.
Wang Daya, who was following behind Xiuying, couldn't help but worry for Wang Dali, and thought to herself: There are so many gentle and virtuous women in Futian Village, I don't know why my brother likes Tian Xiaofang.
"Yes, Tian Xiaofang." Wang Dali touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, a blush on his face. He turned his head to glance at Xiuying behind him and said, "I think she's a good person. Hardworking, kind, and good-looking."
Xiuying frowned slightly and said, "I still need to discuss this matter with the village chief. After all, she is still serving her parents-in-law and has a half-grown son. The relationships involved are complicated and involve many things, so we can't act rashly."
Xiuying said nothing more, thinking to herself. She had never expected that Wang Dali would fall in love with the widow Tian, whose husband had died of illness when the child was two months old, leaving her an orphan and a widow.
Fortunately, Widow Tian's parents-in-law treated her well and took care of her like their own daughter. However, in this era, finding a husband for a widow was not an easy task. Many factors and possible obstacles had to be considered.
Think about it, the original owner also lost her husband, but her situation was completely different from that of Widow Tian. In her husband's family, the original owner suffered the cold eyes of her mother-in-law and the oppression of her eldest sister-in-law, leading a dark and miserable life.
When the three of them passed by Ma Ergun's house, Xiuying inadvertently saw the big red wedding character pasted on the closed door.
Wang Daya couldn't help but say, "When did the Ma family have a wedding? How come there's no news at all? With Ma Ergun's show-off nature, now that the family has some money, he should have set up a grand banquet with several tables. This is too strange."
Wang Dali walked in front and said, "Maybe he's the son-in-law of the Ma family. Ah Ying's skills are indeed not simple. How could the Ma family just let such an outstanding son-in-law go? I think it's unlikely. There must be some tricks here that we don't know about."
Xiuying glanced at him calmly and said, "Let's go. This is none of our business. We don't need to meddle in other people's business. I just hope the Ma family won't regret this marriage."
The three of them continued to move forward. Xiuying couldn't help but look back at the strange big red wedding character posted on the Ma family's door. No one would get married at night. This was really unreasonable.
What's more, Ma Ergun and his wife have always loved Ma Caifeng so much, why would they arrange this marriage so hastily and strangely?
Inside the house, Ma Caifeng was wearing a bright red wedding dress. The square table in the main hall was filled with sumptuous wine and delicacies. Ma Ergun and Wang Fuping were sitting at the table.
"We were a bit rushed, and I'm sorry you've been wronged. But wait until next year when the weather is good, and we'll invite the villagers over, set up a few tables, and have a lively party. Let's settle the matter between you two today."
Ma Ergun said this with a cheerful face, as if he had already seen a bright future, and he didn't notice Zhuiying's eyes full of resentment at all.
He continued to daydream, his voice growing louder and louder: "Next year, maybe we'll have a grandson. That would be a double blessing! You should have more big fat boys!"
Ma Ergun said this with a beaming expression, and glanced at his son who was gnawing on a chicken leg without any image at the side, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
His daughter had found a good husband, his son was so well-behaved and sensible, and he had a smart and capable wife. His life was complete. Now he just had to wait for his daughter to give birth to the child, and the marriage would be a done deal.
From his son-in-law's aloof demeanor and extraordinary behavior, he knew he was no ordinary man. He was not stupid enough to let his precious daughter marry an ordinary man and suffer a lifetime of hardship.
"My dear son-in-law, after drinking this glass of wine, we will be a family." Ma Ergun smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, holding a glass of wine in both hands and handed it over eagerly.
Ma Caifeng and Wang Fuping looked nervous, staring at the glass of wine spiked with aphrodisiac in Ma Ergun's hand, their eyes revealing a complex emotion. You know, this was something they had to go through a lot of trouble to get by saying so much good things to Aunt Wu.
A mocking sneer appeared on Zhuiying's lips. That smile seemed to have condensed a thousand years of frost, which made people shudder.
He reached out to take the wine glass without hesitation, and glanced at the family with ulterior motives with eyes as cold as sharp ice. Then, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, his movements free and decisive.
At this moment, he secretly laughed at their clumsy tricks. He originally thought that Ma Caifeng was deeply in love with him, but now it seems that this woman has such a vicious mind. She will do anything to achieve her goals and has no sincerity at all.
Then, under the gaze of everyone in the Ma family, Zhuiying's body swayed and he fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Ma Ergun hurriedly stood up, put Zhuiying on his back, and walked towards his daughter's room. As he walked, he turned back and urged, "Silly daughter, why are you still standing there? Hurry up! After tonight, this man will be yours, and our Ma family will also benefit from it in the future."
"Hey." Ma Caifeng responded in a low voice with a hint of shyness on her face, and followed in a hurried manner.
Ma Ergun carefully placed his beloved son-in-law on the bed, then turned to look at his daughter-in-law, Wang Fuping, and asked seriously, "Have you explained the key points to your daughter? Don't make any mistakes."
